the moon orbits our earth. the opposite would never be true: the earth would never orbit the moon. one reason is due to the force of gravity. the object has a greater gravitaional force and that determines what satelites orbit around it.

The field between two charged parallel plates is kept constant. if the two plates are brought closer together, the potential difference between the two plates either a) decrease b) does not change c) increase?

Consider an ideal gas at 27.0 degrees celsius and 1.00 atmosphere pressure. imagine the molecules to be uniformly spaced, with each molecule at the center of a small cube. what is the length l of an edge of each small cube if adjacent cubes touch but don't overlap?

Athin nonconducting rod with a uniform distribution of positive charge q is bent into a circle of radius r. the central perpendicular axis through the ring is a z-axis, with the origin at the center of the ring. a) what is the magnitude of the electric field due to the rod at z = 0? n/c (b) what is the magnitude of the electric field due to the rod at z = infinity? n/c (c) in terms of r, at what positive value of z is that magnitude maximum? r (d) if r = 4.00 cm and q = 9.00 µc, what is the maximum magnitude? n/c
